Swansea have been given a double injury boost following the news that Leon Britton and Alfie Mawson are expected to rejoin the main group in training on Thursday.

The Jacks travel to the south coast this weekend and Carlos Carvalhal will be hoping to make it 11 games unbeaten to keep his side out of the relegation zone. Britton has responded well to treatment, and following an injection in his pelvis, the midfielder is pushing to be included in the matchday squad for the first time since January. Further tests also cleared Mawson of serious injury after his knee locked while warming up at Hillsborough a week ago. The defender met with a specialist and had an MRI scan which confirmed he was able to return to normal activity. Angel Rangel [groin] and Renato Sanches [hamstring] aren’t due back until late March while Leroy Fer [Achilles] and Wilfried Bony [ACL knee injury] face a race against time to return for the beginning of 2018/19 after both underwent surgery.

Leon Britton and Angel Rangel were both kept out of the squad in yesterday's loss to Arsenal as each are coping with minor groin strains.

There's an old saying that "there's no such thing as a 'minor' groin strain", or at least, there should be. Britton and Rangel are two veteran figures in the squad, who go back to the club's days in the lower levels. Still, it likely would not have tipped the scale in their favor against the Gunners, as Paul Clement turned to Sam Clucas at left back and had Ki and Leroy Fer available in central midfield. Consider Britton a doubt for Week 11 until an update on his status comes to light. Sun, Oct 29, 2017 02:23:00 AM

Leon Britton is targeting a return to first-team action at Stamford Bridge next weekend.

The Swansea skipper has been limited to just two appearances on the bench in 2017, neither of which resulted in any game time due to a persistent calf problem which has hampered him since November. But, Britton provided manager Paul Clement with a timely boost this week following his return to full training and the 34-year-old will be available to face the Premier League leaders. Swansea are on the up, securing 3 wins from a possible four, victories which have helped the Welsh side climb out of the relegation zone for the first time since early October. Clement will be looking for a similar performance to the one which earned his side maximum points at Anfield last month, while the form of Gylfi Sigurdsson during this stretch has been key.

Swansea City announced midfielder Leon Britton has signed a new one-year contract extension to keep him at the club through 2018.

The 33-year-old was named as club captain following the departure of center-back Ashley Williams this summer. Britton has made 514 appearances for the club in 14 years with Swansea after joining the club from West Ham in 2002. Said Britton: "Signing the extension was a very easy decision, like most of my contracts at Swansea have been. I spoke to the chairman and said if you are happy to have me, let’s just keep the same terms. I think it’s one of the easiest contracts the club have ever drawn up." Tue, Aug 23, 2016 05:40:00 AM
